“National"Textiles in Guangdong, and Guangdong's textiles look to Zhongda." The textile and clothing industry is a traditional pillar and a vital民生 industry in Guangdong Province.

What will become of the 7,000+ garment factories rooted in the Kangle and Lujiang districts? Can Qingyuan, 80 kilometers away, recreate another Zhongda textile business district? On May 23rd, Deputy Director Wu Dongwen of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology appeared on the "Guangdong People's Voice Hotline" and stated that the provincial department of industry and information technology will work closely with various functional departments to provide guidance in industrial orientation and policy, promoting the transfer and upgrading of the textile and clothing industry.

Relocation to the Guangqing Textile Industrial Park

Clothing factory owners and workers face numerous challenges.

New Express reporters learned from the program that this year, Haizhu District in Guangzhou City has proposed to...ComprehensiveDemolition of illegal constructions in Kanglu area is underway, with nearly 30,000 square meters of violations removed so far. With the signing of the "Framework Agreement for the Orderly Transfer of Industrial Gradients" between Haizhu District of Guangzhou and Qingyuan City authorities, Qingyuan serves as the main battlefield for承接transfers. However, unlike the small garment factories in the Kanglu area, the planned Guangqing Textile and Garment Industrial Park will feature spacious and bright modern factories. Most of the companies that have settled in the industrial park are medium-to-large textile and garment enterprises. For the owners and workers of most garment factories in the Kanglu area, moving to the Guangqing Textile and Garment Industrial Park presents numerous challenges.

For clothing factory owners, the Guangqing Textile and Garment Industrial Park has yet to develop a complete industrial chain, lacking orders and workers. Small workshop factories rely on slim profits to stay operational, struggling to bear the costs and risks of relocation. For the workers in the Kanglu area, accustomed to flexible and free employment models, they are unwilling to become fixed workers on the production lines in the industrial park. The difficulty in recruiting workers has also become a challenge faced by the Guangqing Textile and Garment Industrial Park, with a mere few workers from the Kanglu area willing to stay.

Deputy Director Wu Dongwen of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology stated that in response to the relocation of the textile industry in Haizhu District, the provincial committee and government have taken the lead in forming a research team with relevant departments from Haizhu District in Guangzhou and the Qingyuan Government. This team will conduct a comprehensive investigation into issues such as the industrial ecology of the Kanglu area in Haizhu District, the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and the transformation and upgrading of traditional textile industries. The Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology will collaborate with various departments to provide guidance on industrial orientation and policy, accelerate the issuance of comprehensive solutions, and provide an explanation for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Next Stop: Digital Transformation

Our company is collaborating with financial institutions to offer subsidies to small and medium-sized enterprises.

Driving the Textile and Garment IndustryHigh QualityDigital transformation is the path to development. As Guangdong, a major province in textile and clothing production and export, faces a crossroads of transformation, tens of thousands of traditional small and medium-sized clothing enterprises are also at a critical juncture. Compared to powerful large enterprises, small and medium-sized clothing businesses often have more concerns when entering the digital realm. The owners of these small and medium-sized enterprises are more concerned with survival issues rather than digital transformation.

The "Guidelines for Digital Transformation in the Textile and Garment Industry in Guangdong Province" issued this year by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology sets forth the expected digital transformation goals for textile and garment enterprises. By 2025, the digital transformation and application level of the textile and garment industry in Guangdong Province will reach a new level, achieving quality, efficiency, and power transformations for a wide range of small and medium-sized enterprises. The level of two-way integration in the entire industry will exceed 60%, and that of enterprises above a certain scale will exceed 70%. A batch of 5G fully connected factories, intelligent manufacturing demonstration parks and factories will be cultivated.OutstandingApplication Scenarios.

Focusing on the capital issues that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face in their digital transformation, Mr. Yi Xianhui, Director of the Industrial Internet Department at the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, said, "We are addressing the issue from four angles: the enterprises contribute a bit, the technology providers reduce a bit, the government supplements a bit, and provide subsidies for SMEs. Additionally, we are coordinating with financial institutions to ensure they support SMEs in their digital transformation."
